Of course dependant on the sshd_config on the remote machine but if it's in the default RHEL/CentOS state just authorized_keys will do. Double check the permissions on ~/.ssh/ and ~/.ssh/authorized keys[2], they should be 700 and 600 respectively again unless you've veered from default configurations. Also have a look for ~/.ssh/config on the client, make sure there are no specific entries for "remote" disabling key-based auth. If nothing else jumps out at you, temporarily up the logging level of sshd on the server. LogLevel DEBUG3 ... should provide plenty of info. Will.
